No problem, Gary!

Ben, I hadn't quite thought of that. I'll give it some thought.

Bill, if you do lose internet, give me a call and I can post an update to this thread.

Others, if Bill loses internet and you don't see a new Raffle Entry thread right at 8 PM EST, just hold your entry requests until he regains connectivity and can post the new thread. If you have extenuating circumstances preventing you from posting later in the evening, please e-mail or PM your requests to Bill. If that fails, e-mail or PM me or Graig. Our preference is that all requests be made on the board if possible, as we will be using the time stamps of the requests to assign the entry numbers in order. Cross-referencing time stamps across multiple platforms and users gets a little harder.

Lance and Craig,
I just you both an email to make sure I have both your correct phone numbers.
We are going to get 3 to 6 inches of snow today, till 11:PM. It just started snowing now.
If I have to drive to McDonalds to use there internet, I will, (or nearest establishment), I just need to start the thread, and I can always add the names later, because they will be in order.

A Probert or other hockey pic would be cool for sure, but, and although I am CDN, I think I'd still stick with a BB pic?
I love that Aaron I commented about some time ago in another thread. It is incredible looking to me but I doubt Graig would want to paint that one again?

I do love the 58 Topps Mantle/Aaron batting foes card/image if he could paint that, or the pic I own of my Uncle at the 58 WS game with Mickey Mantle.
(both below) but truthfully, I think I'd be pretty happy with most anything he desired to paint.

Same here. (10 to 15 cm's) Just when you thought winter was finally over and spring/summer were about to begin!!:eek:

I'm in. I would love to have the image on the 1974 Topps Puzzle. Even better if the kids faces that appear on the 1974 Deckle Edge that were cropped out of the puzzle shot.

That's a lot of love for Hammerin' Hank!

Irv, unfortunately I can't paint that exact Aaron image again, though I can do something similar. Or, the Mantle and Hank image would also work very well - I'm pretty sure I have a high-res copy of the actual photo somewhere in my files.

Robert, as long as we can get a nice high-res copy of that image, it can certainly be done.

That would be great.

Fingers crossed! :)

raffle will start at 8PM EST. Just one hour and 5 minutes away.

Please use this thread for any questions and comments.

Bill

Just in case there is still a bit of confusion, and to ensure we are all clear, how about a quick step by step rundown on how this is all going to come together. :)

Irv,
On the memorabilia side, I will post a new thread (Keiendler Dream Event III) now open.
In that thread, 1st page, you will see the rules and and entry list. once a member requests their entry, they are placed on that list. When we reach our goal of 250, payments then can be made, please read very carefully about the payment, in the rules.
Once you payment is received, Graig will let me know, and I will mark you as paid.
Once everyone is paid, we will Graig will select a ball game, several days in advance. The last three digits will the winner. OF THE ATTENDANCE THAT IS.
Please read those rules, for further information.

Good Luck

Bill
